right in the front row at the bank, a man in a Prius scowled at me as he made his way to the back of the parking lot.. it was oddly satisfying.

I do the same in the "Hybrids Only" spots at Fresh N Easy.

it's not like you need a permit to park there anyway. same goes with those "expectant mothers" parking spots.

I find it funny that people hate on prius's. Lets hate on things that are better for the environment. Smart.

I do this all the time. I find it amusing because I get 14 miles to the gallon.

What I like about the Prius is while it is more expensive up front, the more you drive and the higher gas prices go the better return you get on your investment. People used to talk so much shit on me because I guess it was a little car or whatever. In high school I used to give my friends rides to school and their parents would feel guilty and throw a couple bucks my way. That more than paid for my gas. But clearly you and you're F150 that you ride around alone in are making bank.

Oh and I don't know why any girl doesn't park in the expecting mother's spaces. It doesn't say what kind of time frame you're expecting to be a mother in.

I have nothing against being in a more fuel efficient car

but to treat these assholes like they are something special is wrong

besides, me not having to drive to the back of the parking lot saved both gas and polar bears

at those speeds his little prius was in battery only mode

on the same note, I'm not proud or ashamed that my car gets 16-17mpg in the city

Yeah, 25mpg out of my golf, because I drive like an asshole. No fucks are given.

Hybrids are dumb because it only takes a few small changes in your car, your driving, and your attitude.

When I gave a fuck, I got 40mpg out of my 95 Integra, easy. My friend got 44 city, FUCKING CITY DRIVING, out of his civic by using a slightly narrower tire. Shit, he saved money on tires and gas, even had a set of race wheels/tires for track days, because his civic wasn't slow.

when gas was $5 a gallon I started paying more attention and making changes, I guess they stuck

I want this car to last for a very long time

A prius goes 5 times around the world before it enters a dealer ship for cost cutting. The lithium used in the batteries is horrible for the environment . It's better for the environment to buy an old car from the 50's. Sure the car itself is greener BUT the construction of it cancels out its hole purpose.

I, personally, hate those Prius'. I am way old fashioned and I stick to American cars only. I drive a 94' Plymouth Sundance and it gets 32mpg, highway and 27mpg, city. It is a good dependable POS, but, as soon as I get the money, I am buying my mom's 02' Sebring. That car is the shit! Eventually, trading that in for an S-10.

You can't just ghost ride a Prius off a cliff into the ocean after you're done with it, the battery is bad.


When it comes to cars, the only environmental push you can make is for less fuel consumption and cleaner emissions. Improper disposal of hazardous wastes is a whole other category and its only fueled by ignorance of the practice or outright laziness.

when prius's first came out, you had to tell the local fire department you owned a prius if you lived in a small city.






not to tell them you were gay, but to tell them they needed a special fire extinguisher in case your car caught fire and your battery was involved
